Jouni Malinen e3efca0a63 mac80211: Fix drop_unencrypted for MFP with hwaccel
Commit bef5d1c70d split
ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() into separate functions that are used for
Data and Management frames. However, it did not handle the
RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED correctly for Management frames:
ieee80211_drop_unencrypted() can only return 0 for Management frames,
so there is no point in calling it here. Instead, just check the
status->flag directly.

Jouni Malinen fa83a21898 mac80211: Fix dropping of unprotected robust multicast frames
When selecting the RX key for group-addressed robust management
frames, we do not actually select any BIP key if the frame is
unprotected (since we cannot find the key index from MMIE). This
results in the drop_unencrypted check in failing to drop the frame. It
is enough to verify that we have a STA entry for the transmitter and
that MFP is enabled for that STA; we do not need to check rx->key
here. This fixes BIP processing for unprotected, group-addressed,
robust management frames.

Jouni Malinen ecbcd32436 mac80211: Fix BIP to be used only with group-addressed frames
BIP (part of IEEE 802.11w) is only supposed to be used with
group-addressed frames. We ended up picking it as a default mechanism
for every management whenever we did not have a STA entry for the
destination (e.g., for Probe Response to a STA that is not
associated). While the extra MMIE in the end of management frames
should not break frames completed in most cases, there is no point in
doing this. Fix key selection to pick the default management key only
if the frame is sent to multicast/broadcast address and the frame is a
robust management frame.

Jouni Malinen e69e95dbec mac80211: Send deauth/disassoc prior to dropping STA entry
When management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) is used, the
deauthentication and disassociation frames must be protected whenever
the encryption keys are configured. We were removing the STA entry and
with it, the keys, just before actually sending out these frames which
meant that the frames went out unprotected. The AP will drop them in
such a case. Fix this by reordering the operations a bit so that
sta_info_destroy_addr() gets called only after
ieee80211_send_deauth_disassoc().

Juuso Oikarinen d6dc1a3863 cfg80211: Add connection quality monitoring support to nl80211
Add support for basic configuration of a connection quality monitoring to the
nl80211 interface, and basic support for notifying about triggered monitoring
events.

Via this interface a user-space connection manager may configure and receive
pre-warning events of deteriorating WLAN connection quality, and start
preparing for roaming in advance, before the connection is already lost.

An example usage of such a trigger is starting scanning for nearby AP's in
an attempt to find one with better connection quality, and associate to it
before the connection characteristics of the existing connection become too bad
or the association is even lost, leading in a prolonged delay in connectivity.

The interface currently supports only RSSI, but it could be later extended
to include other parameters, such as signal-to-noise ratio, if need for that
arises.

Juuso Oikarinen 1e4dcd0124 mac80211: Add support for connection monitor in hardware
This patch is based on a RFC patch by Kalle Valo.

The wl1271 has a feature which handles the connection monitor logic
in hardware, basically sending periodically nullfunc frames and reporting
to the host if AP is lost, after attempting to recover by sending
probe-requests to the AP.

Add support to mac80211 by adding a new flag IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR
which prevents conn_mon_timer from triggering during idle periods, and
prevents sending probe-requests to the AP if beacon-loss is indicated by the
hardware.

Andres Salomon c2ef355bf3 mac80211: give warning if building w/out rate ctrl algorithm
I discovered that if EMBEDDED=y, one can accidentally build a mac80211 stack
and drivers w/ no rate control algorithm.  For drivers like RTL8187 that don't
supply their own RC algorithms, this will cause ieee80211_register_hw to
fail (making the driver unusable).

This will tell kconfig to provide a warning if no rate control algorithms
have been selected.  That'll at least warn the user; users that know that
their drivers supply a rate control algorithm can safely ignore the
warning, and those who don't know (or who expect to be using multiple
drivers) can select a default RC algorithm.

Helmut Schaa df13cce53a mac80211: Improve software scan timing
The current software scan implemenation in mac80211 returns to the operating
channel after each scanned channel. However, in some situations (e.g. no
traffic) it would be nicer to scan a few channels in a row to speed up
the scan itself.

Hence, after scanning a channel, check if we have queued up any tx frames and
return to the operating channel in that case.

Unfortunately we don't know if the AP has buffered any frames for us. Hence,
scan only as many channels in a row as the pm_qos latency and the negotiated
listen interval allows us to.

Sujith 4fa0043731 mac80211: Fix HT rate control configuration
Handling HT configuration changes involved setting the channel
with the new HT parameters and then issuing a rate_update()
notification to the driver.

This behavior changed after the off-channel changes. Now, the channel
is not updated with the new HT params in enable_ht() - instead, it
is now done when the scan work terminates. This results in the driver
depending on stale information, defaulting to non-HT mode always.

Fix this by passing the new channel type to the driver.

having multicast routers attached.  A port with a multicast router
will receive all multicast traffic.

The value 0 disables it completely.  The default is 1 which lets
the system automatically detect the presence of routers (currently
this is limited to picking up queries), and 2 means that the port
will always receive all multicast traffic.

Herbert Xu c4fcb78cf8 bridge: Add multicast data-path hooks
This patch finally hooks up the multicast snooping module to the
data path.  In particular, all multicast packets passing through
the bridge are fed into the module and switched by it.

Herbert Xu 5cb5e947d8 bridge: Add multicast forwarding functions
This patch adds code to perform selective multicast forwarding.

We forward multicast traffic to a set of ports plus all multicast
router ports.  In order to avoid duplications among these two
sets of ports, we order all ports by the numeric value of their
pointers.  The two lists are then walked in lock-step to eliminate
duplicates.

Herbert Xu eb1d164143 bridge: Add core IGMP snooping support
This patch adds the core functionality of IGMP snooping support
without actually hooking it up.  So this patch should be a no-op
as far as the bridge's external behaviour is concerned.

All the new code and data is controlled by the Kconfig option
BRIDGE_IGMP_SNOOPING.  A run-time toggle is also available.

The multicast switching is done using an hash table that is
lockless on the read-side through RCU.  On the write-side the
new multicast_lock is used for all operations.  The hash table
supports dynamic growth/rehashing.

The hash table will be rehashed if any chain length exceeds a
preset limit.  If rehashing does not reduce the maximum chain
length then snooping will be disabled.

These features may be added in future (in no particular order):

* IGMPv3 source support
* Non-querier router detection
* IPv6

Herbert Xu 025d89c27f bridge: Split may_deliver/deliver_clone out of br_flood
This patch moves the main loop body in br_flood into the function
may_deliver.  The code that clones an skb and delivers it is moved
into the deliver_clone function.

This allows this to be reused by the future multicast forward
function.

Herbert Xu b33084be19 bridge: Avoid unnecessary clone on forward path
When the packet is delivered to the local bridge device we may
end up cloning it unnecessarily if no bridge port can receive
the packet in br_flood.

This patch avoids this by moving the skb_clone into br_flood.
